    Lyrics:
    Long ago, just like the hearse you die to get in again
    We are so far from you
    Burning on, just like the match you strike to incinerate
    The lives of everyone you know
    And what's the worst you take (Worst you take)
    From every heart you break? (Heart you break)
    And like the blade you stain (Blade you stain)
    Well, I've been holding on tonight
    What's the worst that I can say?
    Things are better if I stay
    So long and goodnight
    So long, not goodnight
    Came a time when every star fall brought you to tears again
    We are the very hurt you sold
    And what's the worst you take (Worst you take)
    From every heart you break? (Heart you break)
    And like the blade you stain (Blade you stain)
    Well, I've been holding on tonight
    What's the worst that I can say?
    Things are better if I stay
    So long and goodnight
    So long and goodnight
    Well, if you carry on this way
    Things are better if I stay
    So long and goodnight
    So long and goodnight
    (Can you hear me?)
    (Are you near me?)
    (Can we pretend to leave, and then)
    (We'll meet again)
    When both our cars collide?
    What's the worst that I can say?
    Things are better if I stay
    So long and goodnight
    So long and goodnight
    Well, if you carry on this way
    Things are better if I stay
    So long and goodnight
    So long and goodnight

    Four months ago a classmate of mine died. She took her own life, jumping out of a window, but even if we weren't so close I can't help being sad every time I think of her. She wasn't the most friendly person, the total opposite, shy and quiet. My and my friends tried to talk and include her in our group, but she was so distant and we gave up. I promised myself I'm not gonna blame me for her death. Now I'm listening to this song, thinking of her, and I wanted to thank you MCR, you're always there when I need you. Elena, we weren't best friends, neither friends maybe, but I just wanted to say that I'm gonna wake up tomorrow, and for the rest of my life, determined to live for you too.
    Goodbye, I hope your spirit will march forever in the Black Parade 🖤

    The lives of everyone you know

    From every heart you break?
    And like the blade you'll stain
    Well, I've been holding on tonight

    Lyrics ❤
    Long ago
    Just like the Hearse you die to get in again
    We are so far from you
    Burning on
    Just like the match you strike to incinerate
    The lives of everyone you know
    And what's the worst you take
    From every heart you break?
    And like the blade you'll stain
    Well, I've been holding on tonight
    What's the worst that I can say?
    Things are better if I stay
    So long and goodnight
    So long and goodnight
    Came a time
    When every star fall
    Brought you to tears again
    We are the very hurt you sold
    And what's the worst you take
    From every heart you break?
    And like a blade you'll stain
    Well, I've been holding on tonight
    What's the worst that I can say?
    Things are better if I stay
    So long and goodnight
    So long and goodnight
    Well, if you carry on this way
    Things are better if I stay
    So long and goodnight
    So long and goodnight
    Can you hear me?
    Are you near me?
    Can we pretend to leave and then
    We'll meet again
    When both our cars collide
    What's the worst that I can say?
    Things are better if I stay
    So long and goodnight
    So long and goodnight
    And if you carry on this way
    Things are better if I stay
    So long and goodnight
    So long and goodnight

    As much as people joke about how emo this song is, I really think the lyrics are genius. They're not just about the pain of his loss (which btw, this song is about his grandma Helen passing), they're actively talking about how much of a joy she was to everyone around her, how much just one person gave to this world. Not just to him either, but to the entire crowd attending the funeral.
    The scene of her getting out of her coffin, the world frozen to her as a ghost, giving one last goodbye to everyone who loved her.

      No offense to emo music but It's not emo. Gerard stated many times that he didn't like emo music and disliked that people would categorize them into that genre.

    LYRICS
    [Verse 1]
    Long ago
    Just like the hearse you die to get in again
    We are so far from you
    Burning on
    Just like the match you strike to incinerate
    The lives of everyone you know
    And what's the worst you take
    From every heart you break
    And like the blade you stain
    Well I've been holding on tonight
    [Chorus]
    What's the worst that I can say?
    Things are better if I stay
    So long and goodnight
    So long not goodnight
    [Verse 2]
    Came a time
    When every star fall
    Brought you to tears again
    We are the very hurt you sold
    And what's the worst you take
    From every heart you break
    And like the blade you stain
    Well I've been holding on tonight
    [Chorus]
    What's the worst that I can say?
    Things are better if I stay
    So long and goodnight
    So long not goodnight
    Well, if you carry on this way
    Things are better if I stay
    So long and goodnight
    So long not goodnight
    [Bridge]
    Can you hear me?
    Are you near me?
    Can we pretend to leave and then
    We'll meet again
    When both our cars collide
    [Chorus]
    What's the worst that I can say?
    Things are better if I stay
    So long and goodnight
    So long not goodnight
    And if you carry on this way
    Things are better if I stay
    So long and goodnight
    So long and goodnight
    May death never ever stop MCR's memory and music from carrying on. I just love love them so damn much that they'll always have a very special place in my heart.

    Honestly, this band means so much to me. I've been listening to them for a few years now. (My parents wouldn't let me at first)
    This band has encouraged me to get up and keep going even when I have nothing left, not to loose hope, its okay to be scared, its okay to be hurt, but you have to get back up and watch the people get what they deserve weather its good or bad.
    This band has saved my life and convinced me to keep on living no matter how screwed up this world is.
